We are the only fully approved school for ophthalmic assistants
in Michigan.
Therefore, every ophthalmologist, as well as hospitals with departments
of ophthalmology and ambulatory surgery centers which perform ophthalmic
surgery, look to the Institute for professionally trained help. In
addition, all eyes in the ophthalmic world read our newsletter, which
is received by over 2600 persons in Michigan and the Central Great
Lake States. It is the source of information relative to our educational
programs. The newsletter's "want ad"
section advertises available positions in the ophthalmic field.
